Summary
City staff announced new signs on lifeguard towers instructing beachgoers to leave 15–20 feet clear for rescues and providing a QR code that links to live beach-status pages showing hazards and flag conditions.
MIAMI BEACH — An unnamed staff member announced that new blue-and-white signs have been placed on all lifeguard towers to mark the "zona de emergencia" around each tower and ask that beachgoers keep clear.
The staff member said, "Hola, bañistas. Verán estos nuevos letreros azules y blancos en todas las torres salvavidas de Miami Beach. Estas señales están diseñadas para marcar la zona de emergencia alrededor de cada torre." The signs are intended to ensure lifeguards have a clear path to reach swimmers in distress.
The speaker added that people should "mantener de 15 a 20 pies despacio libre a ambos lados de las torres" so lifeguards can respond immediately using a rescue board or a personal watercraft. The staff member said the signs include a QR code linking directly to the city's beach-status pages: "Estas señales también incluyen un código QR que enlaza directamente a nuestras páginas sobre el estado de la playa. Simplemente escanealo para ver el estado actual de la playa, los peligros y la información sobre las banderas directamente desde su teléfono."
The announcement closed with a reminder to follow the signs: "Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener la playa segura. Recuerden, cuando vean estas señales de mantenerse alejados, mantenerse seguro y dejar que nuestro salvavidas hagan lo que mejor saben hacer." The statement reiterated that keeping the marked zone clear helps lifeguards perform rescues more effectively.
No formal actions, votes, or funding details were mentioned in the remarks. The message was a public-safety advisory aimed at beachgoers and visitors.
